Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Multiple problems between the 4 MREs. Only 1 didn't have any issues out of all 4. One had a faulty zip on the protein shake and exploded literally everywhere on first or second shake, nightmare. Then there was a hole in the beverage bag, wasted coffee too! Then the others had bigger problems like defective heating bags, which was extremely dissapointing to spend so much and have so many issues. Of course how can you return these items once you've opened and attempted consumption just to be let down with either a failure or a total disastrous mess, so just out of the money. But I will say that what was edible and worked and was sealed properly etc. My husband did get to enjoy. But its just such a risk to spend so much and have half or more be defective. I'd probably suggest another seller honestly. Seems to be no fix for this sad money down the drain (nor the immense mess the faulted items created ugh). Then thought we'd give them a second chance and first one we pulled out of terrible packaging (a bag type not even a box and extremely dirty!) The first one we pulled out, was literally busted open with the spoon sticking right out. So have no idea how these are going to go. Not so optimistic. But my husband wanted to try again as he's always loved MREs. But I'm getting tired of this wasted money and no recourse because you don't get to see most of the defects unless you actually open and start making the product. So then how do you return your leaking/exploded/non-working heating element/busted packaged individual pieces? You can't. I do wish they'd credit or send out replacements for the damaged ones at least, then we'd continue buying from them. As of now, I don't think I'll ever buy from this seller again, yes they may be a bit less expensive but I guess as the saying goes, you get what you pay for ><. Not that they're even inexpensive in the slightest. Just dissapointing.
